I
wish I were the kind of blogger who has blogs written months in advance, but I
am not!!! Most weeks I am on the lookout for new material to write about and what
you see is usually about as new and fresh as it comes.

But,
this week you will have to indulge me a little. You see, for the past 5 days,
my husband and I have been given the wonderful opportunity for some “special”
time with our 16 month old granddaughter while her parents and two brothers
went on a vacation of their own.

This
little girl has been such a joy, but caring for a baby takes time and ENERGY. So, in this
week’s blog, I am allowing myself some creative time sharing some baby pics and Bible verses since I just experienced one of those busy summertime
weeks.
